Carbon Fiber Driveshaft

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y7/MichaelBic38/IMG_1384.jpg

put the rear end under the leafs to get it out of the way, when I get a few thing done to the front (Suspension, motor and tranny mounted, cab back on the frame) i'll take the rear end apart and get it powder coated

Very nice, Michael. The Viper seats (actually even SRT-10 truck seats) are a nice upgrade.

Looks good- did you repaint your front clip?

Yup Carbon Metallic Black is the color, used on BMW M5's

Has blue flakes in the paint

Estimated completion date is Oct. That will put me at 2 years of working on her, most of the big pieces will flow pretty easy, its all the small stuff here and there that will take the longest, plus the wheels still need to be made

Actually the truck will probably never be raced with slicks, I'm burned out on drag racing on setting up the rear with a 4-link kit, coil overs and panhard bard

Since the truck is going to be a cruiser i'd rather it ride like its on a cloud than make it rough just to drag race it once every six months

If I get into drag racing again there is a truck that is completely set-up for drag racing that I'd buy


Very nice, Michael. The Viper seats (actually even SRT-10 truck seats) are a nice upgrade.

plus they were $300 on e-bay. I'm ditching the mechanical seats and going with passanger power seats to mount them on. Plus the seats are really comfy. All that needs to be done is recovered with the new suede that I'm using on the back wall and headliner and visors, I thought about using black suede instead of carpet, but not sure how that would look

One of the best colors out there! I didn't realize you were doing this. When it is all done, it will be one of the nicest/fastest L's on the planet. You're doing it right with all the attention to detail. Just awesome!

which is why its taking so long, there will be tons of one off interior and exterior items

I'm doing everything I want to do one time and have been researching the best stuff available before buying, looked into all the different engine options, head/cam combos, before making my decision on who was going to build it and what they were going to build

I'm doing a lot of carbon fiber trim pieces and looking for a company to make a carbon fiber cowl hood, they have Lightning Cobra R and Stock hoods, but not cowl....might just have to talk someone into making a one time hood

I'm actually going to get a brand new DGMotorsports bumper, has carbon fiber trim on it to match the carbon fiber wheels I''m about to have made next month, just have to mount the Brembos and get the full dimensions of the brakes front and rear so they can make the wheels.... 20's of course

I used to know a good carbon guy in Pennsylvania, when i did my gsxr 1000 all carbon just look on the web im sure there is one out there. U will probably need to buy the hood and thy will just overlay it with carbon!! I just put black suede in my head liner and center console lid, looks nice.. Can show you pics if needed.. __________________

If you can find out their info that would be great:tu:

here is one idea I have, but come down and put carbon fiber around the grille surround

I got the Cervinis hood back in 04 when Terry got us the group discount

[jcblack]

Looks good homie:tu:

[joshc_guitar]

Dude I can't wait to see her run.

[Beaudee]

When can i test drive it:icon_mrgreen:Thats gona be really something.:bows

Hood looks nice with carbon, I'll search tonight, click on my page and look at my old 1000 I believe u can see some of the carbon made pieces. Just my cowl cost 300 to do with real carbon, a hood would be close to 2k guessing
